Machines in Tournament

Beginning in 2001, most of the pinball machines for Pinburgh have been
selected from the private collection of one of our sponsors. The pinball
industry has been very slow in recent years (only Stern is still producing
new machines), and there are fewer machines on route than ever before.
On the bright side, the private collection gives us more than seventy
tournament-quality machines to choose from!

There will be at least forty pinball machines present for the
tournament, including machines available for practice play.
Most machines are of recent vintage, and all have been selected on the
basis of suitability to tournament play. In order to avoid the possibility
of any unfair advantage, the following list is merely indicative of the
machines that will be present. It is not guaranteed that every machine
listed here will be present, nor that any number of unlisted machines may
appear in any portion of the tournament.

During the final rounds of the tournament, each division plays on a
set of machines different from those used during qualifying.
The selection of machines for each division's final rounds will not
be announced until the final rounds begin on Sunday.
Similarly, the exact selection
of machines for each division's qualifying rounds will not be available
until the tournament opens on Friday.

Machines used in tournament play are not available for practice play at
any time. Machines configured for practice play will be available in a
separate area; the coin drop from fifty-cent play will go towards meeting
tournament expenses.

All machines are fully shopped, in good working order, and properly
setup and leveled. Tournament rules and settings are being utilized.
Although nearly all of these machines have seen play
"in the field", every effort has been made,
and is made on an ongoing basis, to maintain tournament-quality playability.
Please keep in mind that very few new pinball machines are being built,
and that of course a well-used machine may still be restored to excellent
condition.
